I may know everything there is to know about baseball, but that doesnt mean I have to like it. Or like him. Garrett Reeves: sidelined player and the embodiment of everything Ive learned to hate about baseball. Hes gorgeous, hes cocky, hes laser-focused on getting back in the game, no matter the cost.
When he convinces me to call games alongside him, our chemistry heats up ...more

Update: I'm rereading this one because it was such a fun read. It is currently on sale for 99 cents on Amazon so now is your chance to grab a spectacular read for a great sale price! I loved Josie Walter's sarcastic wit and Garrett's ability to keep up with her. I often felt like I was watching a smart comedy routine when these two started sparring. Don't miss this fabulous read!

I really enjoyed this book and will definitely read more of this author. The writing style is catchy.
Baseball and Josie are a no go. They do not mix. Her best friend has developed a new crush. The no baseball rule is about to take a curve ball. Josiess dad left them for the love of the sport. That leaves Joise with two things, an outstanding knowledge of baseball and a chip on her shoulder.

There was a famous baseball player from back in the day, who I need to steal a line from, because lately, baseball's been very, very good to me. I have recently read a quite a few fantastic baseball books, and I am adding Announcing Trouble to that list.
No lie, I was laughing and wearing a stupid grin for almost the entirety of this book, the other parts, I was wiping a few tears from my eyes. It was a really great emotional experience for me, and I attribute that largely to the ...more

For a cold day in hell, it's unseasonably warm.
Announcing Trouble hooked me in from the very first sentence. That doesn't happen often. Something about it just clicked with me, maybe because I've been feeling like the world as a whole (and my own world) has taken a bizarre turn, but it's still summer. (But who are we kidding, this bizarre turn started back in 2016.) And it kept me on the line, both with witty banter and some solid girl power.
In Announcing Trouble, we have Josie ...more
Youyou met him?
This morning. He was here as I was setting up. I knew it had to be him even before he introduced himself. All that nice hair and boyish charm. He has a finger gun. Did you know that?
I laugh in spite of myself. Its awful.
This was great. Funny, charming, sweet and meaningful.
Two amazing, mature leads with heaps of chemistry between them, lots of hilarious banter and a touching love story to boot. A bunch of loveable side kicks that actually add something to the plot other than ...more

This has everything I like about YA, and I'm so happy I read it.
It has a sports oriented plot, yes, but with a refreshingly and unique angle. Josie seriously hates baseball, and Garrett is an injured baseball player, who might never play again. So instead of focusing on playing the game, it's about them collaborating on broadcasting games.
It was fun, adorable and contained some amazing banter between Garrett and Josie. Garrett's charm is of the chart while he tries to gain her trust.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
I've never really been someone who enjoys baseball - it's not really a thing that's played over here - but even so, when I first saw this book online, I was immediately intrigued and dove right in as soon as my request had been approved.

Announcing Trouble by Amy Fellner Dominy was so much fun to read. As a lifelong baseball and romantic comedy fan, this book hit all of the right notes.
Josie goes to her high schools baseball game to provide moral support for her best friend who has a crush on one of the players. She hears all of the errors made by the color commentary and steps in, thus providing a very lively meet-cute between Josie and Garrett, an injured ballplayer whos announcing the games while hoping to make a ...more
This was cute, and fun, and everything I was hoping it would be. Perfect summer read!

This is a delightful teen romance involving baseball, baseball players - and a young lady determined not to have anything to do with baseball players after her baseball playing father left to follow his baseball playing dreams, abandoning her and her mother. Oh, did I say it has a lot to do with baseball?

**CASSIE'S REVIEW
Announcing Trouble came out of left field for me and I am so glad it did. I chose to sign up on a whim seeing it was a YA romance with baseball elements and I was intrigued from the first scene. Rather than focus on characters who actually play, we get almost all of the baseball action through the commentating booth. I havent come across a sports romance that dealt with the sportscaster type and that made this book new and exciting.

This book was literally every single thing that I love about YA romance.
It. Was. Adorable.
And sweet.
And heartfelt.
And emotional in a way that I wasnt really expecting, but that deeply resonated with me.
I was won over immediately by the banter. These are smart, funny, wholly relatable characters. I loved the chemistry between Josie and Garrett. I loved the way they connected and the authentically playful way they flirted, teased, and inevitably fell for each other. I loved how, even when I wanted ...more

Josie hates baseball because her father left her for the sport. Now shes accidentally back in baseball calling games with Garrett an injured player. Josies life plans do not include falling for an athlete.

I loved this book! That's no surprise; I love everything Amy Fellner Dominy has written. But it also IS a surprise, because it's (a) centered around sports and (b) is essentially a rom-com, which is not something I really associate with her.
It does have the things I do associate with her, though: a great story with characters it's impossible not to love and writing that is second to none.
Best of all, it's a sports book the way that Bull Durham is a sports movie: it's a major part of the plot, ...more

Fabulous YA romance
Abandoned at age 13 by her professional baseball player father, whom she adored, Josie has spent the last five years avoiding anything in her life that smacks of emotional risk. She doesn't have dreams, she has practical plans. Dreams are what her father had in his passionate pursuit of playing professional baseball at any cost. In their family, that cost has been the destruction of Josie's and her mother's lives. Her father taught Josie to love baseball, and then he proved ...more

This book wasn't bad. But I will say it started getting repetitive. The things her mom was putting in her head, was terrible. They need therapy. You are passing that thinking onto your daughter and making her feel as if it's a problem to take risks. It was really frustrating. And I understood her reasoning, but it started to become irritating. It was as if the main character didn't have any dreams or goals. I would have loved to see more of her dreams and goals and wish they talked more of her

Uhhhhh....
This book went from laugh out loud to gut wrenching, heartbreaking fast😭
It's a good one. A really good one. Though there are times I want to smack Josie real hard. What she put Garrett through was kind-of unfair.
I was having a hard time wrapping my head around her issues.
Also, I wanna smack her mother too because she really was not helping the problem🙄
All in all, this book is not so cliche and though Garrett did some chasing at least Josie did some of her own too.

This is a super sweet and adorable YA romcom novel. I definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys YA romantic/comedy books, baseball, and contemporary YA books.
Things I enjoyed:
- Josie is a very relatable character.
- I like that this deals with real teen issues such as struggling to find out what your passions are and what you are going to do with the rest of your life.
- I love baseball, so I loved all the baseball parts.
- Garrett really grew on me as a character, and he is so wholesome. ...more

My Thoughts:
Announcing Trouble was a fast-paced, cute, and sweet story layered with humor, depth and emotion. It was a story that made me smile, laugh, swoon, and tear up. It made my heart hurt for the female lead Josie, and made me adore the male lead, Garrett.

Books that have to do with sports are kind of my jam, so it was fun diving back into the young adult world with this contemporary romance from Amy Fellner Dominy.
